True yesterday, today and in the future: Yesterday: "Pilate said to him, True? what is true? Having said this he went out again to the Jews and said to them, I see no wrong in him." Today: We are so thankful that today we are free to define "True" ourselves using Python 2.x. Future: Be warned, the future gets darker! ;-) Grüessli -- Kurt Mueller -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
